Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118 Tan Shui Village

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen didn’t say much. He directly took out a white elixir and tossed it to Su Yun.

To Lin Chen, a mere Third Grade Elixir was not precious; he had at least nearly ten thousand of such elixirs on his person.

Su Yun caught the elixir and immediately understood Lin Chen’s intention. Without hesitation, he fed the elixir to Su Qi.

At the moment the elixir was consumed, a miraculous scene unfolded. Su Qi’s wounds began to heal at a visibly rapid pace, her dwindling life force was restored, and her broken bones started to mend.

Su Yun and the others were shocked by this. They silently pondered that such a miraculous elixir was casually taken out by Lin Chen, without even a frown, as if he had merely tossed a bean.

They speculated that to Lin Chen, this level of elixir might truly be as ordinary as beans. Within just a few moments, Su Qi regained consciousness.

"Su Xiao, was it really you who saved me?"

Su Qi looked at Su Xiao, her face full of surprise, and asked.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the joy of narrowly escaping death.

At the same time, her hatred for Su Dongyu took root deep in her heart. She had followed Su Dongyu for five years, never expecting to be treated like this in the end. If it weren’t for Su Xiao and Su Yun, she would have perished.

"Su Qi, what happened?"

Su Xiao asked. Su Qi was silent for a moment, but eventually revealed what Su Dongyu had done to them.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun, Su Xiao, and the others all angrily cursed Su Dongyu for his ruthless actions toward his clan members. Such a person was unworthy of becoming the Su Family’s Young Master. If he became the Young Master, the Su Family would find no peace.

Lin Chen, upon hearing, couldn’t help but frown. He wasn’t concerned about how Su Qi was treated by Su Dongyu, but was interested in Su Qi’s mention of a very potent poison treasure in Su Dongyu’s possession, capable of killing invisibly.

Lin Chen exchanged a glance with Su Yun, and both understood that Su Dongyu possessing such a treasure might not only be for dealing with Water Bandits but could be aimed at the two of them.

After all, the poison’s gas from that Poison Treasure could annihilate all the Water Bandits, leaving no remains, thereby preventing any military merits, suggesting Su Dongyu’s intentions were not simple.

Su Dongyu’s faction had already attempted to assassinate Su Yun within the Secluded Orchid Mountain Range. The hatred between them was deep, and unless Su Dongyu eliminated Su Yun, his position would remain insecure, a fact Su Yun fully understood.

"Young Master, may I... may I join you?"

Su Qi pleaded with Su Yun. She absolutely did not want to return to Su Dongyu’s side. Having witnessed the strength of the Water Bandits, staying alone in Water City was too dangerous.

Only by following Su Yun and the others could she continue participating in the trial; otherwise, she would have to crush the jade slip and call for the Four Great Families’ experts to take her away.

Upon hearing, Su Yun turned his gaze to Lin Chen, seeking his opinion.

"You can follow us, but you must comply with our arrangements and not make decisions on your own, causing trouble. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unkind."

Lin Chen looked at Su Qi coldly and said. Su Qi was formerly associated with Su Dongyu, and regardless of what she said now, Lin Chen would not easily trust her.

His goal was to ensure the smooth progression of the trial, without providing extra care for the Su Family people, as Su Yun and others might.

If Su Qi did anything detrimental to them, Lin Chen would eliminate her without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Su Qi quickly nodded. She had long heard rumors about Lin Chen and knew he was a cold-blooded person.

At this moment, the beautiful woman next to Lin Chen felt relieved observing Lin Chen’s attitude toward Su Qi, realizing that Lin Chen treated her much better than Su Qi.

After that, everyone continued to follow Lin Chen, heading toward the destination, Tan Shui Village.

Xindi Water City comprised twelve regions, with multiple villages in each region.

The village where the beauty was from was named Tan Shui Village, located in the Third Water Region.

Lin Chen and the others were escorting her back to the village because she had previously been captured by Water Bandits and barely escaped.

They escorted her partly out of responsibility for having saved her, not wanting to let her return alone, and partly to learn more about the Water Bandits through contact with Xindi Water City’s villagers.

Not long after, following the route provided by the beauty, they finally arrived at Tan Shui Village after three hours.

The village’s size was equivalent to a quarter of Tian Que City, with many buildings, but it looked dilapidated at this moment, as if it had just been attacked.

Many martial artists were repairing houses, but Lin Chen immediately saw that although these buildings had defensive formations, they were all very low-level.

At this time, in the village, a beautiful woman, a grieving woman, was watching a man in the distance, complaining as she hit him.

"You heartless thing, as a father, how can you watch our daughter be taken away by those Water Bandits? Don’t you know what suffering she’ll endure in their hands?"

"You useless thing, hurry up and bring my daughter back!"

The beautiful woman cried, her expression filled with grief, as if the world were ending.

The man let her hit him and complain, his face full of helplessness and sorrow.

"Do you think I don’t want to save our daughter?"

"But as you can see, so many clan members have died at the hands of those bastards, and the village is destroyed like this. If we don’t repair it quickly, the next time the Water Bandits attack, the whole village might be wiped out," the man said helplessly.

At this moment, the villagers repairing the houses noticed Lin Chen and the others, immediately sounded the alarm, and everyone in the village rushed to the rooftops, holding weapons, warily watching Lin Chen and his group.
